So you’re on the front lines. No reason you can’t accessorize, right?

I have one of these, and it is frighteningly accurate for a mechanical watch. They are really great if you have a small wrist too, as the diameter is much smaller than most current watches. The band is a bit rough, so you may look into a replacement, but for 60 bucks you can't go wrong.

Here is a bunch of comments about problems with Dynamite Time:

BUYERS BEWARE

@lurp: Holy crap, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was about to pounce on this deal until I saw that thread. How the hell does a company like that even stay in business? Such shady dealings.

I bought a watch from Dynamite Time last August. I didn't have any problems with my order and the watch is still working great.

I would buy a watch from them again, if I wore a watch more often.

I also bought from DynamiteTime last year (3 watches) and was satisfied with the experience. I did stumble on a negative thread which had me nervous after ordering but had no problems.

Cloths straps get gross after a while.

I would absolutely get one of those watches, but I can't stand fabric straps.

As for Dynamite Time, I ordered from them once before. The watch I received had a dead battery, so I went and bought a replacement battery. I emailed them about the problem and how much the battery cost, and they reimbursed me for the battery.

I would order from them again, it's just a matter of them selling another watch I would want.

This watch also comes with an SS strap. It's a great watch, and you can find great deals on eBay from trusted vendors.

@st3go: I've had one for about three years and could never get it to keep good time. Did you have the watch adjusted? I'm curious to know if there is something I could do to make it keep time better. I love the watch, but can't wear it often because it keeps time so poorly.

30 meter water resistant, so ok for daily use, but probably not a good idea for wearing while swimming. My understanding is that the water resistant measure is static pressure, so any movement increases the effective water pressure above the actual depth. I know some people swim with them no problem, and I have worn mine while giving my kid a bath many times, but it is not the best idea to test the limits.

I do not own one of these models (but have been eyeing them for some time) but I do own another Seiko 5 that uses the same 7s26 automatic movement. The movement is incredibly accurate and durable. Certainly not as accurate as a quartz but automatics have a certain appeal that quartz does not. $55 is an amazing price for these, I would swap the band though.

Oh, but don't try swimming with one. You're just asking for trouble. Would be fine for occasional splashes and hand washing but don't get one thinking you'll be jumping into the pool with it.

Those are some pretty bad horror stories. I've been eyeing this site for months, waiting for an automatic but I'd be hardpressed to push the buy button now.

I have the black one. It's an awesome watch. I swapped my band out for a NATO strap and it looks way better. I can't speak for the vendor, since I got mine from Amazon. Mine has the newer 7S26C movement and it keeps excellent time (I lose about 4 seconds a day).

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
